Ftp-WG: On new commands

Hello,

In our application (Fastream FTP++ P2P) we have multiple connection
downloads (similar to Download Accelerator/GoZilla) with the help of REST
command. I simply divide the file into segments and then merge the
downloaded parts on the local-side.

I want to implement the same feature for remote part also. I mean multiple
connection uploads. However, on the remote size, there is nothing like a
merge command. There is the command APPE but it only appends a local file to
a remote file. Wouldn't it be nice if we add such a command to FTP?

Also, in our application, we have a command called SITE MD5 similar to ones
found in UNIX systems. But in our case, the MD5's are cached with a
background thread. This enables KaZaA/iMesh like P2P functionality with
multiple source-IP/port downloads. However lack of support from other
applications limit the use to within FTP++-to-FTP++ only. As you may have
understood, I propose this command also.

Best Regards,
